18 YORK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 YORK CLOSE sales from November 2001 and January 2021 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the November 2001 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 18 YORK CLOSE be worth now?
